AdGuard resets all user passwords after account hacks
Sep 21, 1:09AM
Popular ad-blocker AdGuard has forcibly reset all of its users’ passwords after it detected hackers trying to break into accounts. The company said it “detected continuous attempts to login to AdGuard accounts from suspicious IP addresses which belong to various servers across the globe,” in what appeared to be a credential stuffing attack. That’s when […]
Cleo, the 'digital assistant' that replaces your banking apps, picks up $10M Series A led by Balderton
Sep 20, 11:00PM
When Cleo, the London-based “digital assistant” that wants to replace your banking apps, quietly entered the U.S., the company couldn’t have expected to be an instant hit. Many better-funded British startups have failed to “break America.” However, just four months later, the fintech upstart counts 350,000 users across the pond — claiming more than 600,000 […]
Watch how Tesla Model 3 earned NHTSA's top safety rating
Sep 20, 10:59PM
The Tesla Model 3 has had its share of struggles, from CEO Elon Musk’s well-documented production hell to more recent logistic “nightmares” that have slowed deliveries to customers. There’s one area where the Tesla shines: crash safety tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And the Tesla Model 3 is no exception. Check out the videos […]
Audible brings its audiobook library to the Apple Watch
Sep 20, 10:55PM
Didn't get your fill of Amazon news among the 70 or so announcements at today's Alexa event? Good news, Audible's got something to add to the deluge. The Amazon-owned audiobook site just announced the availability of its Apple Watch app. The offering brings pretty much what you'd expect. You can listen to audiobooks and manage […]
Scientists have moved one step closer to RNA editing, which could be the next stage of CRISPR
Sep 20, 10:42PM
Researchers at the prestigious Salk Institute are reporting that they have managed to map the molecular structure of a CRISPR enzyme that could allow scientists to more precisely manipulate functions within cells. Over the past several years, CRISPR-Cas9 has seized the public imagination for its ability to edit genetic code in a way that may correct defects inside […]
uBeam wireless power's CEO Meredith Perry steps aside amidst B2B pivot
Sep 20, 10:05PM
After repeatedly missing self-imposed deadlines for progress on its wireless charging-at-a-distance phone case, uBeam’s CEO Meredith Perry has decided to shift out of the CEO position and into a board member and senior advisor role. She’d founded the company in 2011 from her dorm room and brought in over $40 million in funding by selling […]
Echo HomePod? Amazon wants you to build your own
Sep 20, 9:36PM
One of the bigger surprises at today's big Amazon event was something the company didn't announce. After a couple of years of speculation that the company was working on its own version of the HomePod and Google Max, we still don't have a truly premium Echo. That's due, in part, to the fact that Amazon […]
Amazon introduces APL, a new design language for building Alexa skills for devices with screens
Sep 20, 9:05PM
Along with the launch of the all-new Echo Show, the Alexa-powered device with a screen, Amazon also introduced a new design language for developers who want to build voice skills that include multimedia experiences. Called Alexa Presentation Language, or APL, developers will be able to build voice-based apps that also include things like images, graphics, […]
Google's fingerprints were all over today's Amazon event
Sep 20, 8:53PM
Hidden among the 70 or so announcements Amazon made at today's big Alexa event was one key hidden presence. Google's offerings loomed large over much of the news flowing out from the big event. It's easy to understand why, of course. Assistant and Home have steadily been making up ground on Amazon over the last […]
The long list of new Alexa devices Amazon announced at its hardware event
Sep 20, 8:47PM
Everyone’s favorite trillion-dollar retailer hosted a private event today where they continued to exercise their highly strategic approach to hardware, which has them throwing everything at the wall and waiting to see what sticks. We got some new Amazon Echo devices, sure, but there was also an amp, a camera, a clock and a microwave…? […]
Amazon's new Echo Dot, up close and hands-on
Sep 20, 8:10PM
If the Echo Show was the Amazon device most desperately in need of a makeover (please and thank you), the Dot was certainly a close second. After all, while the cheapest (and best selling) Echo device has already been through a couple of iterations, the hardware wasn't exactly the sort of thing you'd proudly display […]
Adobe gets its company, snaring Marketo for $4.75 billion
Sep 20, 8:07PM
A week ago rumors were flying that Adobe would be buying Marketo, and lo and behold it announced today that it was acquiring the marketing automation company for $4.75 billion. It was a pretty nice return for Vista Equity partners, which purchased Marketo in May 2016 for $1.8 billion in cash. They held onto it […]
Facebook's Camera AR platform head is coming to TC Sessions: AR/VR
Sep 20, 8:05PM
Augmented reality has the potential to change how we interact with the internet; as these technologies scale, you can certainly bet that Facebook is going to be looking to shape what’s possible. At our one-day TC Sessions: AR/VR event in LA next month, we’ll be joined by Ficus Kirkpatrick, Facebook’s head of Camera AR Platform, […]
As tasks wane, skills rise
Sep 20, 8:00PM
The way we work is changing. People possess the innate ability to innovate and evolve in the jobs that they do, and new technologies -- from the wheel to steam power and artificial intelligence -- have drastically improved and impacted work throughout history.
Hulu is making a new season of 'Veronica Mars'
Sep 20, 7:41PM
It’s official: Hulu is reviving the cult mystery series “Veronica Mars”. The show originally ran from 2004 to 2007 on UPN and the CW, with the titular high school sleuth played by Kristen Bell. Last month, there were reports that Hulu was in talks to bring the show back. Now it looks like a deal […]
Amazon's new Echo Show up close and hands-on
Sep 20, 7:34PM
The Show was far and away the Echo product most in need of a makeover. The original device, introduced two years back, was far more concerned with function than form. That, of course, is in line with many of the company's hardware offerings, which are often designed to simply show what things like Alexa are […]
Amazon's Alexa is coming to Sony smart TVs and Lenovo Smart Tabs
Sep 20, 7:23PM
Amazon wants Alexa to interact with as many people as possible, including the ability to show them things. And that means freeing the virtual assistant from the confines of Amazon’s screen-supporting smart speaker Echo Show or Fire TV — devices that give Alexa a face (and of course a voice). The company announced Thursday at […]
Eventbrite's IPO should encourage tech companies to get out while they still can
Sep 20, 7:09PM
Eventbrite is having one hell of a debut on the New York Stock Exchange this morning. Shares of the ticketing startup, founded back in 2006, have shot up over 50 percent in trading on the NYSE. After pricing its shares at $23 in its initial offering, investors have bid up the stock to a whopping […]
Up close with Amazon's $60 Alexa Microwave
Sep 20, 7:01PM
Amazon was quick to note at today's event that not all that much has been done to update the microwave for the 21st century. While that's probably a pretty fair criticism of the ubiquitous home appliance, the new AmazonBasics microwave is less about space-age technologies than it is helping to usher in the future of […]
Delta to start scanning faces at airport check-in
Sep 20, 7:00PM
Delta will later this year roll out facial recognition at its terminal at Atlanta International Airport for anyone traveling on an international flight. The airline said the biometric facial scanning is optional — a move that will shave off a few minutes off each flight — but will help border and pre-flight security authorities before […]
